This question is answered in some of the other posts answering your
original question, so hopefully it will now be clear. Essentially, by
the time your overridden version of -[NSView drawRect:] is called, the
drawing subsystem which NSRectFill() uses already knows that your
NSView is the target of the drawing operation.
